Inside / Out

 

(2006)
One city block, nine buildings
Microcontrollers, acrylic, wood, metal
Installation

 

Nine buildings in downtown Memphis were integrated with a system that sampled the activity levels from the inside of the buildings to control a dynamic lighting display on each roof. So as people walked around the South Main gallery district they were able to see all the building nodes and the activity inside them from far away. ‘Inside / Out’ used architectural buildings as visual information nodes, to create an active mesh and dynamic display over a large environment.

 

Created during art residency at FedEx Institute of Technology and Lantana Projects in Memphis.
